Of interest to us is general and specific genealogical information about our French-Canadian (QUÉBEC in particular) and Franco-American ancestors. I hope to post pertinent info here on a regular basis as my research progresses. Details concerning genetic anomalies and hereditary diseases found among French-Canadians and their descendants would be welcome. Your input, corrections and comments are most welcome.

Delphis BOISVERT+Marie GERVAIS

I have been searching for the marriage date & place of DELPHIS BOISVERT+MARIE GERVAIS for more than a year. All I know is that 5 of their children (don't know how many they had) were married at St. George parish, Manchester, NH:OLIVINE m. Ulric GAMELIN in 1892;ÉVA m. Joseph ST. GELAIS in 1911 (our lineage);CLARA m. Oliva LAPLANTE in 1911;ARTHUR m. Marie-Anne TREMBLAY in 1913;NAZAIRE m. Joséphine ROY in 1902I've read somewhere (can't recall where), that DELPHIS BOISVERT was born in Saint-Zéphirin, QC & MARIE GERVAIS was born in Sainte-Élizabeth, QC. No counties were mentioned. Thus far, I've checked the DROUIN (masculine & féminine) & have not found this couple. Nor have I found them in the following marriage directories in Manchester, NH (St. George, St. Marie, St. Augustin, St. Edmond, Blessed Sacrament), nor have I found their deaths listed in the PHANEUF Funeral Home Directory nor that of BOUFFORD. I have also checked the following MES AIEUX site: http://www.mesaieux.com/fr/default.htmand they are not there.Any help in traving the Delphis BOISVERT+Marie GERVAIS marriage & lineages would be appreciated. I would like to connect them with the many BOISVERT in my lineage, who were living in Manchester, Hillsborough County, NHThanks!

About Me

I was born in early morn...
An American living in Canada since 1971, I have finally come to grips with my French-Canadian heritage, which isn't as easy as it may sound. Although many Quebecers immigrated to the U.S., wherever they went, they were the minority, despite filling the factories along the Merrimack River on the east coast. So, I'm not "an American in Paris," but an "AMERICAN in QUÉBEC"!
